Bridge-Site Study Data for Selected Highway Crossings in Mississippi, 2022

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) works closely with the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) to provide information to be used by the MDOT for design of highway-drainage structures. MDOT spends millions of dollars annually for highway construction. Streamflow records, hydrologic analyses of basins, and hydraulic analyses of flooding potential at proposed highway crossings help the MDOT

Datasets for the 2015 potentiometric surface and water-level changes (2011-2013, 2013-2015) in the Sparta-Memphis aquifer, in Arkansas

These datasets provide the locations of and groundwater-level altitudes from 273 wells that were used to construct a 2015 potentiometric contour surface of the Sparta-Memphis aquifer. Measurements were made from January through June 2015 and represent synoptic conditions. All wells were cased completely in and screened in the Sparta-Memphis aquifer. Groundwater-level data are also available from t

Mapping karst groundwater flow paths and delineating recharge areas for Fern Cave, Alabama through the use of dye tracing

Fern Cave in Jackson County, Alabama is the longest and deepest cave in Alabama with over 15 miles of cave passages and 536 feet of depth. The cave is cooperatively managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Southeastern Cave Conservancy. At least three different streams flow through the cave including the Surprise, Lower North, and Bottom Cave streams. Two of these streams, Lower North

Dye tracing data related to karst hydrologic processes in carbonate fensters of the western Great Smoky Mountains

Dye tracing investigations were conducted in Cades Cove and Tuckaleechee Cove, two carbonate fensters in the western Great Smoky Mountains. These investigations were conducted as part of a two-year study examining the karst hydrology in the carbonate fensters. Main objectives of the dye tracing investigations were to determine resurgences for cave systems, delineate recharge areas for major spring

Hydraulic Conductivity and Transmissivity Estimates from Slug Tests in Wells Within the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, Arkansas and Mississippi, 2020

During the spring and summer of 2020, the U.S. Geological Survey, Lower Mississippi – Gulf Water Science Center, conducted single well slug tests on selected wells within the Mississippi Alluvial Plain in Arkansas and Mississippi to estimate hydraulic conductivity (K) and transmissivity (T) values for the aquifers in which the wells are screened. A total of 324 tests were conducted on 48 wells. Th

Model input and output from Precipitation Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) simulation of the Red River basin 1981-2016

This data release contains input and output data from hydrologic simulations of streamflow conditions in the Red River Basin (RRB) using the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS). The RRB PRMS model predicts components of the water balance at 3065 hydrologic response units (HRU) and streamflow for 1614 stream segments within the model domain for the simulation period 1981 to 2016. The data r

12-Digit Hydrologic Unit Outlet Locations for Selected Watersheds Draining to the Gulf of Mexico in the South-Central and Southeastern United States, Derived from the USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset (dated August 13, 2020) and NHDPlus version 2.1

This USGS data release includes a shapefile of outlet point locations for 12-digit hydrologic units (HU12s) from the Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD), dated August 13, 2020 (U.S. Geological Survey and others, 2020), draining to the Gulf of Mexico in the south-central and southeastern United States. The outlet locations were derived by combining the WBD boundaries with flow direction grids from the

Public-Supply Water Use in 2010 and Projections of Use to 2030 by County and Grand Division in Tennessee

Reliable information concerning where water is used, how water is used, the quantity of water used, and changes in water use over time is key in making informed water-resources management decisions. Although projections of water-use estimates are subject to a variety of contingencies, ranging from natural disasters such as droughts and floods to economic booms or disruptions, they provide a basis

Hydrogeologic Aquifer Test dataset, Lower Mississippi-Gulf Water Science Center, March 2022

Since the 1940's, commercial, academic and government hydrologist have used aquifer test to estimate the hydrogeologic properties near test wells. Results from these tests are recorded in various files, databases, reports and scientific publications. The LMG-Hydrogeologic Test dataset is an attempt to aggregate these dispersed hydrogeologic test results into a single dataset that is publicly avail

Assessment of hydrologic alteration at 12-digit hydrologic unit code (HUC12) pour points in the southeastern United States, 1950 - 2009

Two methods of calculating hydrologic alteration were applied to modeled daily streamflow data for 9,201 12-digit hydrologic unit code (HUC12) pour points draining to the Gulf of Mexico (Robinson and others, 2020). The first method is a new modified method of calculating ecosurplus and ecodeficit called hydro change. For this project, ecosurplus and ecodeficit have been combined to assess overall

Hydrogeologic Aquifer Test dataset, Lower Mississippi-Gulf Water Science Center, December 2021

Since the 1940's, commercial, academic and government hydrologists have used aquifer tests to estimate the hydrogeologic properties of an aquifer near test wells. Results from these tests are recorded in various files, databases, reports, and scientific publications. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Lower Mississippi-Gulf Water Science Center (LMG) is aggregating all aquifer test results from Al

Altitudes and thicknesses of hydrogeologic units of Southwest Louisiana

A hydrogeologic framework was constructed for the Coastal Lowlands aquifer system in southwestern Louisiana. Data from previous hydrogeologic and geologic studies were synthesized and expanded using 2,242 geophysical logs to map four hydrogeologic units: the Chicot aquifer system, Evangeline aquifer, Jasper aquifer system, and Catahoula aquifer. Raster surfaces were created for the base and thickn
